With reports weeks earlier saying that Holland was supposed to be the lead of the movie, some are guessing that he’s going to play the part of Telemachus, Odysseus’ son. In the story, Telemachus journeys to Pylos and Sparta looking for his father, only to come back to Ithaca to realize that Odysseus had returned.
Telemachus is considered to be the secondary protagonist of the Odyssey, and his journeys while on the search for his father have been called the Telemachy traditionally.
With Holland not having a hit besides Spider-Man, a lot of fans thought a team-up with Christopher Nolan of all people could help Holland’s status as a leading man. As for Damon, everyone knows that he’s a solid actor, but he has been criticized for not doing so well on period movies—especially one that is based on a story set hundreds of years ago.
Then again, I’m always up any big swing, and it looks like Nolan is going to be doing just that with this massive adaptation of the action-adventure story that defined modern storytelling in general.
Hopefully we get a first look at a trailer before the year ends.

]]>A trailer has just dropped, and it gives us a look at a lot of classic scenes from the original film like the meeting between Hiccup and Toothless as well as their first flight. Check the trailer for the live-action How to Train Your Dragon out:
Just like the Disney live-action remakes, it looks like the film is also going to be recreating several iconic setpieces—only they’re going to be a tad greyer this time around. As someone who isn’t really a fan of these direct remakes, I just hope that they managed to add some newer scenes that should make this version of the story stand-out.
With How to Train Your Dragon being a successful film on its own right though, it’s doubtful that this movie can find something to ‘fix’ this time around. I just hope that they manage to find some interesting places to interpret the story differently—like how The Last of Us on HBO changed story beats but still stayed true to the themes and narrative.
Here’s the official description for the film:
On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames; The Black Phone, For All Mankind) stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated franchise), Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society.
With the fierce and ambitious Astrid (BAFTA nominee Nico Parker; Dumbo, The Last of Us) and the village’s quirky blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost; Snow White and the Huntsman, Shaun of the Dead) by his side, Hiccup confronts a world torn by fear and misunderstanding.
As an ancient threat emerges, endangering both Vikings and dragons, Hiccup’s friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader.

]]>What’s interesting is, though M3GAN is being resurrected for the sequel, it looks like she’s going to help the humans this time. This was confirmed in the official synopsis for the movie (via Polygon):
Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous (and impeccably choreographed) rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GAN’s creator Gemma (Allison Williams) has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemma’s niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma’s overprotective rules.
Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno; Ahsoka, Pacific Rim: Uprising), the ultimate killer infiltration spy. But as Amelia’s self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around.
With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN (Amie Donald, voiced by Jenna Davis) and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger, and more lethal. As their paths collide, the original A.I bitch is about to meet her match.
Though M3GAN was considered to be a spiritual sequel of the Child’s Play movie franchise, it’s pretty interesting that the movie should switch genres and pull a Terminator 2: Judgement Day where the killer robot in the first movie is going to fight for the good guys now.
It’s honestly the last thing I would’ve expected from M3GAN who could have easily just kept killing people in every film, but she does get another doll for her to fight in the form of Amelia—and she’s played by Ahsoka’s fan-favorite Ivanna Sakhno (Shin Hati).
With a release date set for June, hopefully we get a better look at the movie in the next few months. I’m honestly curious how Amelia’s going to turn out. Will she be a robot human, or will she have a creepy doll face like M3GAN?
M3GAN 2.0 comes to theaters on June 27.
]]>According to an official post from Universal Pictures, the movie will be an adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey. Check this out:
Christopher Nolan’s next film ‘The Odyssey’ is a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX film technology. The film brings Homer’s foundational saga to IMAX film screens for the first time and opens in theaters everywhere on July 17, 2026.
— Universal Pictures (@UniversalPics) December 23, 2024
It hasn’t been confirmed which characters the cast are playing, but the picture has managed to gather an impressive cast with Nolan favourites like Robert Pattinson, Matt Damon, and Anne Hathaway. The cast also includes Charlize Theron, Lupita Nyong’o, and power couple Zendaya and Tom Holland.
The Odyssey by Homer is considered a sequel to The Iliad which tells the story of mythical hero Odysseus on his journey home after the Trojan War. Along the way he meets several mythical creatures and magical beings, all making for unique short stories that build up a whole narrative.
There have been several adaptations of the Odyssey over the years, but one of the most auteur-focused takes was O Brother, Where Art Thou? from the Cohen Brothers which takes the story of the Odyssey and loosely brings it to 1930s rural Mississippi. George Clooney plays the lead Ulysses (Odysseus’ Roman name) and there are loose adaptations of the Sirens and the Cyclops from the original poem.
Knowing Nolan, his Odyssey may not be a direct adaptation, and should have its own kind of twist unique to him. Maybe it’s a telling of the story in a grounded way as compared to the mythical events that happen in the original poem? Could he find a way to work a robot helicopter into the story?
We’ll just have to wait and see until the next update. Hopefully it can match the soundtrack of O Brother, Where Art Thou because the bluegrass songs are what make the movie.
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is set to come out July 17, 2026.
]]>The film is led by Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey and is set to release next year. Though we don’t have a trailer yet, we do have some official photos via Entertainment Weekly. Check these out:
Though most of the movie’s plot is under wraps for now, Edwards does tell EW a bit about the approach of the movie, with them attempting to recapture the magic of the original Jurassic Park from Steven Spielberg. Edwards explains:
“I can’t speak for Universal, but it did feel like a new trilogy, in a way… I’m not sure what their plans are, but it felt like the beginning of a brand-new chapter in this franchise. To me, it’s a giant love letter to Steven Spielberg and his earlier films. There are moments in this movie that remind me very much of Jaws. It’s like little greatest hits of all those aspects of his films that I loved growing up as a child. It’s essentially a little adventure odyssey across this island, a survival story, really.”
Edwards goes on to explain that they actually shot a lot of the film on location, and they had to bring everyone into an actual jungle, with actual wild animals. He says, “We kept it quiet from the actors as they spent a whole day wading through the same area. And there were giant spiders that were poisonous and stuff on the edge of the trees. You just wouldn’t point them out if you saw them. Just keep going!”
After his work on The Creator, Edwards has solidified himself as a visual auteur around the same level of Neill Blomkamp. Admittedly, his last movie wasn’t the best when it came to plot, but fans are hopeful that Rebirth will manage to rejuvenate Edwards’ career moving forward.
Jurassic World: Rebirth is set to release in theaters on July 2, 2025.
]]>In a recent interview with the LA Times, the movie’s composer Stephen Schwartz describes how he pitched a ‘hip-hop’ version of Popular to Grande, to which she eventually refused. He says, “In the spirit of being open to new things for the movie, my music team and I thought, let’s refresh the rhythm. Let’s, maybe, I don’t know, hip-hop it up a little bit… Ariana said, ‘Absolutely not, don’t do it. I want to be Glinda, not Ariana Grande playing Glinda.’”
While the movie’s star Cynthia Erivo has been making the rounds online with her odd reactions to fan edits, Grande has been getting nothing but praise, with some claiming that she definitely proves that she can also be a great actress as well as she is a great musician.
For now, Wicked is enjoying a solid opening at the box office, earning upwards of $100 million during its opening weekend. Grande and Erivo’s rendition of Defying Gravity is also enjoying the top spot on Spotify as well.
Though the movie was expected to draw in a fanbase that mostly included fans of the original Broadway musical, the film has somehow piqued the curiosity of casual audience members as well—who have all been gushing about the film online.
Wicked is now playing in theaters.
]]>Now they’re set to release The Bad Guys 2 next year, and we have the first trailer for the movie featuring a new animal group of femme fatales. Check this out:
Here’s the synopsis for the sequel:
In the new action-packed chapter from DreamWorks Animation’s acclaimed comedy smash about a crackerjack crew of animal outlaws, our now-reformed Bad Guys are trying (very, very hard) to be good, but instead find themselves hijacked into a high-stakes, globe-trotting heist, masterminded by a new team of criminals they never saw coming: The Bad Girls.
Original cast members from the first movie Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Craig Robinson, Awkwafina, and Anthony Ramos are set to reprise their roles as the Bad Guys; and the crew of Bad Girls is voiced by Danielle Brooks Maria Bakalova, and Natasha Lyonne.
The movie is even bringing back Zazie Beetz for Governor Foxington and Alex Borstein for Misty Luggins.
Besides Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, and How to Train Your Dragon, DreamWorks has been working hard to find a new IP that can manage to stick, and The Bad Guys somehow worked pretty great. The animation is solid, and the movie had a lot of heart. Let’s just hope the sequel manages to deliver as well.
Catch The Bad Guys 2 when it comes to cinemas on Aug. 1, 2025.
]]>Check this out:
Besides Hiccup (Mason Thames), the group includes Astrid (Nico Parker), Snotlout (Gabriel Howell), Fishlegs (Julian Dennison), Ruffnut (Bronwyn Hames), and Tuffnut (Harry Trevaldwyn). If you look closely, you’ll also see Nick Frost dressed as Hiccup’s mentor Gobber.
Admittedly, the movie is trying its best to look just like the original animated film—which was a visual spectacle all on its own. But based on what we saw in the featurette, there are already some changes in store. For one, the twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut don’t look alike at all in the movie—with the two having a ‘C-3PO/R2-D2’ visual dynamic.
With original movie director Dean DeBlois at the helm, there’s no doubt that the live-action HTTYD will stay true to the spirit of the original movie. I just hope that there’s enough difference in this film to justify a live-action remake; because every animation fan just can’t seem to fathom why they would decide to remake a beloved film into live-action in the first place.
I mean, that’s something out of Disney’s wheelhouse.
Hopefully DeBlois can pull this off in live-action; and hopefully have some different surprises in store.
Catch How to Train Your Dragon when it comes to cinemas on June 13.
]]>The movie is set to release in the summer of next year, and Universal Pictures just dropped their first teaser for the live-action How to Train Your Dragon. Check this out:
On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames; The Black Phone, For All Mankind) stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated franchise), Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society.
If you’ve watched the original film, you’ll know that the live-action film takes a lot of visual cues from the animation. The dragon pit pretty much looks the same, as well as Hiccup’s moment with Toothless where the dragon lets him touch its nose.
With the original movie already being a spectacle by itself though, I’m curious if the live-action film has anything new to bring to the table. Sure a lot of the dragons look more detailed, but is there anything new to bring to the table storywise?
Maybe they can set-up characters like Hiccup’s mother and other franchise villains earlier, but I’m really hoping they go a different direction with the third film because that honestly could have been brushed up more storywise.
Dragons will soar in theatres when How to Train Your Dragon comes to cinemas on June 13.
]]>As fans have pointed out online, Mattel had accidentally placed a website address for the packaging for a porn site. The merch was supposed to have the address for wickedmovie.com, but instead, they just linked to wicked.com, a website which boasts ‘The Ultimate Destination for Award-Winning Adult Content’.
https://twitter.com/just2goodYT/status/1855382617085878447
Though Mattel did screw up the website address on the packaging, the same can’t be said for other brands that decided to partner with Wicked. It’s been noted that the website on the LEGO packaging is the correct one, as well as the website linked on Betty Crocker packaging.
https://twitter.com/just2goodYT/status/1855383118883996075
Funnily enough, Variety reports that the adult site has reported the highest surge in their visitors since the mid-2010s, and this is likely because of the mistake with the packaging. Mattel, however, is already aware of the screw-up, and has released a statement:
“Mattel was made aware of a misprint on the packaging of the Mattel ‘Wicked’ collection dolls, primarily sold in the U.S., which intended to direct consumers to the official WickedMovie.com landing page. We deeply regret this unfortunate error and are taking immediate action to remedy this.”
So far, Mattel isn’t saying that they’re going to recall the product with the misprint. Instead, they are just opting to message the parents and say that the wrong (adult) website is on the packaging and should get rid of it when they get the product. They are also advising that the link just be simply obscured—which shouldn’t be a problem for any retailer.
Watch out for Wicked when it releases in theatres on Nov. 21.
]]>Check him out in this first trailer for Universal’s Love Hurts:
Here’s the description for the movie:
Ke Huy Quan stars as Marvin Gable, a realtor working the Milwaukee suburbs, where ‘For Sale’ signs bloom. Gable receives a crimson envelope from Rose (Oscar® winner Ariana DeBose; West Side Story, Argylle), a former partner-in-crime that he had left for dead. She’s not happy.
Now, Marvin is thrust back into a world of ruthless hitmen, filled with double-crosses and open houses turned into deadly warzones. With his brother Knuckles (Daniel Wu; Tomb Raider, Warcraft), a volatile crime lord, hunting him, Marvin must confront the choices that haunt him and the history he never truly buried.
With Quan playing a former hitman who is just trying to live his life in peace before his past comes back to haunt him—it really does seem like Love Hurts is just another John Wick-type property, and it probably is. After all, it’s also being produced by David Leitch who produced the John Wick movies. The movie is also being directed by longtime stunt coordinator JoJo Eusebio, who has also worked on movies like Black Panther, The Avengers, Deadpool 2, and—surprise, surprise—John Wick.
Quan himself has also had a history with action filmmaking, so it’s great that he’s able to show off his skills in this film. Though he may be best known for his child acting days in films like Indiana Jones 2 and The Goonies, it’s great to see him actually take on action roles—while at the same time embracing his cutesy wimp onscreen persona.
Catch Love Hurts when it comes to cinemas on Feb. 7.
]]>According to The Hollywood Reporter, Holland has been cast to star alongside Matt Damon in Christopher Nolan’s next movie. No details have been revealed about the movie, but it’s said to be a period piece, and a rumor is going around that it could have something to do with vampires.
This should be considered a huge win for Holland, since fans have started to notice that he’s been in kind of a slump whenever he’s not working on a Spider-Man movie. Don’t get them wrong, they still think Holland is talented, but after duds like Cherry and Uncharted, people are starting to doubt whether Holland’s agent has the juice to get him into better projects.
I do have to admit though, Holland was great in Netflix’s Devil All the Time movie that came out a couple of years ago:
For now, Nolan’s rep is at an all-time high, thanks to the phenomenon that was Barbenheimer last year. With Nolan’s last movie being a serious period drama, some think that he’s ready to once again put on his action hat and deliver a Tenet-level flick with Holland and Damon as the leads.
At some point, I’d actually love to see another stab at the concept of Inception.
Nolan’s next movie starring Holland and Damon is set to release in theatres in July 17, 2026.
]]>Check this out:
The official description for Speak no Evil reads:
When an American family is invited to spend the weekend at the idyllic country estate of a charming British family they befriended on vacation, what begins as a dream holiday soon warps into a snarled psychological nightmare.
From Blumhouse, the producer of The Black Phone, Get Out and The Invisible Man, comes an intense suspense thriller for our modern age, starring BAFTA award-winner James McAvoy (Split, Glass) in a riveting performance as the charismatic, alpha-male estate owner whose untrammeled hospitality masks an unspeakable darkness.
This film is actually a remake of the 2022 Danish movie of the same name which was written by Christian and Mads Tafdrup. Besides X-Men actor McAvoy, the film also stars Mackenzie Davis, Scoot McNairy, and Aisling Franciosi.
Here’s the trailer for the original film just in case you were curious:
We don’t know how this remake will change anything, but it’s always been a lose-lose situation when it comes to these remakes of foreign films. Films get bashed for exact copies of the original, and they also get bashed for changing some things.
With the original film’s bleak ending, maybe the remake can deliver something more hopeful. But then again, that could change the movie entirely. We’ll just have to wait and see what the final product will be in the next few months.
Speak No Evil is set to release in theatres on Sept. 13.
]]>The film was parts disaster movie and science-fiction, and Universal Studios is ready to come back to the franchise with their sequel Twisters. Check this out:
The official description reads:
Daisy Edgar-Jones stars as Kate Carter, a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. She is lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi (Anthony Ramos) to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Glen Powell), the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew, the more dangerous the better.
As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler, Javi and their crews find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.
It’s worth noting that the film is being directed by Lee Isaac Chung who is best known for his Oscar-nominated movie Minari. We also shouldn’t forget that the movie is also banking on the now-realized star power of Glen Powell, who wowed everyone with Top Gun: Maverick and solidified his leading man status opposite Sydney Sweeney in Anyone But You.
We’ve gotten a load of disaster movies before where we get to see entire cities get raised up and torn down, but Twisters looks like it’s going to put a focus on more small-scale disasters. Of course, that doesn’t mean that they’re any less horrific and it looks like the filmmakers are trying their best to amp up just how scary tornadoes can be.
One tornado isn’t good enough? Try two. Still not scary enough for you? What if we set it on fire?
Watch out for Twisters when the movie hits cinemas on July 19.
]]>The movie is set to come out next week, and we have a new trailer showcasing Universal’s upcoming mini-monster. Check this out:
Children can be such monsters.
After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, all they have to do to collect a $50 million ransom is watch the girl overnight. In an isolated mansion, the captors start to dwindle, one by one, and they discover, to their mounting horror, that they’re locked inside with no normal little girl.
It’s worth noting that the movie is being directed by Radio Silence—a team of two directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillet—the same people behind Ready or Not and the last two Scream films. The film also has a star-studded cast which includes the likes of Melissa Barrera, Kathryn Newton, Dan Stevens, and the late Euphoria star Angus Cloud.
Not to mention the titular Abigail is also played by Alisha Weir, who was the star of Netflix’s recent musical Matilda reboot.
If you’ve seen Ready or Not or any of the last scream films, you’ll know that Radio Silence has a penchant for bringing together horror and comedy. While we should expect some actual frights, you can get caught off-guard whenever somebody says something hilarious. Abigail should be no exception to their signature style.
Abigail is set to hit theatres on April 19.
]]>The movie is set to hit theaters this May, and we have a new trailer that gives us a great look at the stunts and tells us who’s who in the story. Check this out:
The official description for The Fall Guy goes:
He’s a stuntman, and like everyone in the stunt community, he gets blown up, shot, crashed, thrown through windows and dropped from the highest of heights, all for our entertainment. And now, fresh off an almost career-ending accident, this working-class hero has to track down a missing movie star, solve a conspiracy and try to win back the love of his life while still doing his day job. What could possibly go right?
If you’re familiar with director David Leitch’s work, you’ll know that he has a penchant for incredibly stylized action movies, with the story usually taking a back seat (e.g., Bullet Train, Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2). That being said, Leitch’s films are still incredibly fun and still have some memorable character moments and interactions—top that off with some Ryan Gosling charm and you have an almost guaranteed hit.
Gosling alone attracts a strong following online of people who are ‘literally him.’
After what I thought was a safe performance as Ken in Barbie, I’m excited to watch Gosling go all out with the comedy and action genre. Not to mention Emily Blunt is also a firecracker.
Watch out for The Fall Guy when it comes to cinemas on May 3.
]]>As per Deadline, Edwards has been tapped to direct the next Jurassic World film. Edwards was said to be the next choice after Deadpool 2 director David Leitch, and he was said to have wowed producers Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall.
No synopsis has been released for the next Jurassic World film, but the movie is said to be taking place in a completely new era; and we’re not expecting Chris Pratt or Bryce Dallas Howard to make a return—neither should we expect anyone from the OG cast like Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum to come back either.
Though the Jurassic World movies had not been critical darlings, they all did major bank in the box office, and Universal is pretty much committed to delivering more of these dinosaur films. With Dominion, the humans were left to co-exist with the dinosaurs loose on the Earth, and the next movie should show us just what kind of world the people have been living in after years of the dinosaurs once again making the Earth their home.
Does everyone live in domes so they can be safe from T-Rexes and pterodactyls? Can humans even still travel by sea safely if there are massive mosasaurs roaming the oceans?
With Edwards onboard, I’m sure we’re going to be in for a visual feast. Fingers crossed we get more details soon. The next Jurassic World movie is set to release on July 2, 2025.
]]>Though it did seem that we wouldn’t be getting any more Jurassic movies, THR is reporting that a new Jurassic World film is in the works, and the movie has been in such deep development that Universal is said to be looking for a release sometime in 2025.
So far, no director has been announced to be taking the helm for the film, but David Koepp, who was the writer of the original Jurassic Park, is said to be coming back to tackle a whole new story which is said to be taking place in a ‘new era’ of the franchise.
Producer Frank Marshall, who had also overseen the Jurassic World trilogy, is also coming back to produce this film, and Steven Spielberg himself is also attached as an executive producer via Amblin Entertainment.
By the end of Dominion, we saw that the dinosaurs had been freed from the park and he humans just ended up co-existing with them (despite how dangerous some of the dinosaurs are). We should expect the continuity to further explore a world with dinosaurs, but I’m interested to see how Koepp would approach the story because ancient locusts are kind of a boring villain for a dinosaur film.
No release date has been set for the next Jurassic World, but the studio is said to be eyeing a 2025 release.
]]>Watch this:
Po is gearing up to become the spiritual leader of his Valley of Peace, but also needs someone to take his place as Dragon Warrior. As such, he will train a new kung fu practitioner for the spot and will encounter a villain called the Chameleon who conjures villains from the past.
Besides Jack Black coming back to reprise the role of Po, the film has also brought back other Kung Fu Panda veterans including Dustin Hoffman and James Hong; not to mention Ian McShane is also reprising the role of Tai Lung.
New Kung Fu Panda 4 characters include Chameleon who is voiced by Viola Davis and Zhen the fox who is voiced by Awkwafina.
Oddly enough, there is no mention of the Furious Five in the trailer, but Jackie Chan is listed in the cast as Monkey. We have no idea about Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Crane (David Cross), Mantis (Seth Rogen), and Viper (Lucy Liu) yet.
With the tease of Chameleon also being able to bring back past villains, we should expect some kind of appearance from the likes of Kai (J.K. Simmons) and Lord Shen (Gary Oldman) as well. I wouldn’t also mind if they brought in some unseen villains, like the ones who wielded the ancient weapons Po was geeking out about way back in the first movie.
Kung Fu Panda 4 is set to release in theaters on March 8.
]]>First off, here’s the trailer:
And here’s the breakdown with Green:
Admittedly, the demon possession genre has changed quite a lot ever since the first movie, but you can see that Believer definitely takes a lot of hints from the original, from the use of music to the flashing images of demons in black and white.
I just think it’s kind of funny that the film is kind of pulling off an Alien where the sequel just has more than one person possessed. I have no doubt the movie is going to end up banned in some conservative Christian places.
Here’s the official description:
Since the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 12 years ago, Victor Fielding (Tony winner and Oscar® nominee Leslie Odom, Jr.; One Night in Miami, Hamilton) has raised their daughter, Angela (Lidya Jewett, Good Girls) on his own.
But when Angela and her friend Katherine (newcomer Olivia Marcum), disappear in the woods, only to return three days later with no memory of what happened to them, it unleashes a chain of events that will force Victor to confront the nadir of evil and, in his terror and desperation, seek out the only person alive who has witnessed anything like it before: Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn).
Watch out for The Exorcist: Believer when it comes to cinemas on Oct. 6.
